Soon Mu Linjing returned to Wei Yumeng’s side. Wei Yumeng looked at her with questioning eyes, and Mu Linjing shrugged, indicating she didn't know either.
The two women’s gazes returned to the stage.
Chen Yutong also looked at Fang Xun, her face filled with worry, as if afraid something would be exposed.
After Fang Xun prepared everything, he glanced at Zhan Mohan. Zhan Mohan nodded, and only then did he step onto the stage.
Instantly, everyone’s attention shifted to him, wondering what this person intended to do.
Fang Xun made some manipulations on the computer, and the large screen behind them directly switched to display the photograph.
A commotion erupted in the audience. Only the reporters nearby had seen it earlier; many others had not. Now, it was no different than making the photo public.
Chen Yutong’s face turned pale. Did Zhan Mohan intend to confront her today? Or was he planning to use this opportunity to drive her out of the Zhan family?
Besides these malicious thoughts, she couldn’t think of any other possibility.
“Everyone, please be quiet,” Fang Xun said into the microphone. “I will now explain to you all what this photograph is all about.”
As he spoke, he manipulated the computer again, dragging the photo into a software program to reopen it.
“The software I am using now is a new project invested in and developed by our Zhan Corporation. It can use a photograph to reconstruct the scene depicted in the photo into a real-space simulator. Although this product does not yet have a confirmed official release date, it has undergone all kinds of testing and is a new type of image processing software certified by the state.”
As he introduced it, he clicked the mouse again, and the photo on the screen indeed changed.
Based on the scene in the photograph, the computer began to autonomously build a corresponding spatial display, quickly restoring the scene from when the photo was taken.
“Everyone, please look. The scene we see in the photograph, it should be from this angle, correct?”
“Yes, it’s from here.”
Fang Xun nodded. “Alright, then let’s take a look from another angle.”
As he said this, he moved the mouse, and everyone was stunned.
“This… is this just a misunderstanding caused by visual distortion?” Those in the audience discovered the problem.
“In that case, the angle of the photo seems to have been deliberately chosen.”
“This means the photo might have been a complete misunderstanding.”
Fang Xun continued, “I believe everyone now understands what this photograph is all about.”
After this explanation, he bowed to Zhan Mohan and then retreated.
Chen Yutong had not yet recovered. She had truly believed there was no other way to explain everything, but she never expected such a method to be used.
Those who understood everything, besides the audience, naturally included Wei Yumeng.
In truth, she didn't disbelieve Zhan Mohan; she simply couldn't tolerate other women interacting with him.
“So that’s how it is,” Mu Linjing also nodded, then looked at Wei Yumeng. “Yumeng, now everything is clear. You don’t need to be upset anymore.”
These words made Wei Yumeng a little embarrassed. Perhaps if she had chosen to believe Zhan Mohan from the beginning and not cared, none of this would have happened.
Zhan Mohan’s calm voice reached them again. “This is Zhan Corporation’s first attempt at a project in the field of electronic technology. We have applied for a national patent for this technology and have secured cooperation with well-known foreign enterprises…”
Zhan Mohan’s words undoubtedly shifted everyone’s attention away from Chen Yutong’s incident. Coupled with his personal demonstration,
this press conference instead became a new software launch event for Zhan Corporation, even garnering significant support from many people.
As for Chen Yutong’s incident, people no longer pursued it. They even thought that Zhan Corporation had staged this entire event merely to boost the popularity of their new software.
After the press conference ended, Wei Yumeng waited for Zhan Mohan backstage. She felt she owed him an apology for this matter.
As soon as Zhan Mohan and Chen Yutong returned backstage, they saw Mu Linjing and Wei Yumeng.
“Mohan, I want to talk to you alone,” Wei Yumeng said.
Mu Linjing immediately realized the situation. She reached out and pulled Chen Yutong. “Sister-in-law, I’ll accompany you to remove your makeup.”
After Mu Linjing and Chen Yutong left, Wei Yumeng spoke first.
“Mohan, I’m sorry. I should have trusted you on this matter, but as soon as I saw that photo, I couldn’t calm down.”
Zhan Mohan looked a little helpless. To him, Wei Yumeng had only thrown a small tantrum; it wasn’t enough to warrant an apology.
“Alright, since it’s all over, let’s not mention it. Shall we go eat something together later?”
Wei Yumeng smiled at him. “Okay, then I’ll treat you today.”
“Alright.” Zhan Mohan agreed readily. He knew Wei Yumeng just wanted to compensate him in this way, and it wouldn’t be good to refuse.
Meanwhile, Chen Yutong had been with Mu Linjing, and there wasn’t much for them to say to each other.
Mu Linjing was naturally outspoken, and in the absence of others, she made her dislike for Chen Yutong evident on her face.
Suddenly, Chen Yutong found Mu Linjing’s clothes familiar. This made her recall the person who had presented the photo. Although there were many people at the time, she recognized the attire.
It was just that she had been cornered by reporters then and hadn’t paid attention. Now, she remembered.
“Linjing, when did you and Yumeng arrive?” she asked tentatively.
Mu Linjing, however, gave her no face. “You don’t need to worry about this,” she said curtly.
Although Mu Linjing didn’t answer, her deliberate evasiveness made Chen Yutong suspect something was amiss.
If Zhan Mohan hadn’t had a contingency plan today, those reporters would have certainly badgered them until the end, and the outcome would not have been like this.
Thinking this, Chen Yutong felt she had been tricked by Wei Yumeng again. She vowed to get revenge.
When Chen Yutong was ready and walked out of the lounge, she happened to meet Fang Xun.
“Madam Zhan and Madam Mu, Mr. Zhan and Mrs. Zhan have already left. I will drive you back.”
This made Chen Yutong even angrier. If it hadn’t been for this incident, she had planned to seize the opportunity to have dinner with Zhan Mohan.
But now, it had all been snatched away by Wei Yumeng.
Mu Linjing, on the other hand, didn’t seem to mind and got into the car with Fang Xun.
At this moment, Zhan Yangyi had watched the entire press conference on television. He hadn’t been paying attention until his assistant reminded him that it concerned Chen Yutong, so he watched.
He clenched his fist and suddenly stood up from the sofa, as if about to do something, but after a few steps, he sat back down.
“Yutong…”
